Really lovely shots, especially the first one, reminds me of a painting

I think the second one is nearly perfect. The first is good, but I wonder if it would be more compelling with and bit more light in the shadows and/or cropped tighter on the top-left — my eye wants to see more of the model in that one. Still, that's a very subjective call and both of them are gorgeous photos.

I like both! The first in particular is very fairy-tale-princess-fantasy-movie -ish. Like it's out of a movie set. Lovely model, lovely outfit too.

Great shots! The first looks for "fantasy" while the second I feel is stronger. Love the lighting and the green background works perfectly.

The second photo is beautiful.

What I like: #1. The image is sharp and well exposed. #2. The color of the dress complement the model. #3. The lace and embroidery evoke tradition and history.

What you can do to enhance the photo: #1. The right hand is hidden. I would like to see the model place her right hand on her left knee, for example. #2. The folds on the dress at the feet of the model should be straighten a little more to reveal the beautiful embroidery. #3. The green background complements the model and her dress. Unfortunately it ended. It created an imaginary line, cutting the model left hand. The changing background is distracting.

I look forward to seeing more of your beautiful and creative work.

Very nice work...while I wouldn't perhaps tell you what to do with her hands, as above, I would say the hand placement is probably the weakest part of the images, so, you got it 99% right.

Good portraits. The lighting is appropriate and the model sweetly posed with a lovely balance of bright and complementary colours. #2 I though might have been given a little too much head room in the image. But otherwise well done.
